Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of A2780 control cells (Scr_1 and Scr_2), and A2780 TET2 KO clones (KO1.1, KO1.36, and KO2.32). The Illumina’s Infinium Human Methylation450 Beadchip Kit (WG-314-1001) was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A2780 cells with genetic TET2 knockout, generated by CRISPR. The aim was to identify genes affected by TET2 KO. Three individual KO clones were profiled. Control cells were cells that infected with control sgRNA.
Project description:DNA methylation is tightly regulated throughout mammalian development and altered methylation patterns are a hallmark of cancer. The methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2 is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and has been suggested to protect CpG islands and promoters from aberrant methylation. By generating a novel mouse model of Tet2-deficient AML we show that loss of Tet2 in hematopoietic cells leads to progressive hypermethylation of active enhancer elements and altered expression of genes implicated in tumorigenesis. In contrast, CpG island and promoter methylation does not change in a Tet2-dependent manner. Furthermore, we confirm this specific enhancer hypermethylation phenotype in human AML patients. Thus, we propose that TET2 prevents leukemic transformation of hematopoietic cells by protecting enhancers from aberrant DNA methylation. Gene expression profiles from Tet2-/-;AML1-ETO and Tet2fl/fl;AML1-ETO in vitro-grown hematopoietic cells were compared using GeneChip Mouse Gene ST 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix). Expression changes were investigated at early (passage 2) and late (passage 10) timepoints after Tet2 disruption.
